“You have no heart, Lucian. You have no idea how much I have suffered because of you. You disgust me.” I seethe in anger as Lucian towers over me. “Everything I have done, I have done for the sake of the Blood Moon pack. You think too lowly of me.” His voice touches every part of my skin. “That is because you leave me no choice! Until you prove otherwise, I have nothing but the person I see standing in front of me, and right now, all I see is a monster!” In the flash of a second, Lucian is merely inches away from me, using the large frame of his muscular build to cage me against the wall. I feel tingles all over my skin at our proximity. “You force yourself to hate me so you do not feel guilty about all the nasty little thoughts you conjure up in your mind about me.” He grins. “But I know the truth, Serena. Under the mask of all that fire is a girl who craves me as much as I crave her. You ignite for me as much as I do for you and I think perhaps it is time we both stop ignoring it.” Serena Darkling, a rogue wolf with unique powers, and Lucian Blackwood, a ruthless alpha with the fate of his pack in his hands, fated to each other by a mate bond.
